SUPERthrive® ZYME™ 100% Enzyme Cleaner — 1 gal

Enzymatic Root & System Cleaner for Healthier, More Productive Growing Environments

SUPERthrive® ZYME™ 100% Enzyme Cleaner is a professional-grade enzymatic solution formulated to keep roots, growing media, and hydroponic systems free from the build-up that stifles plant performance. By breaking down plant exudates, biofilm, sludge, slime, and algae at the source, ZYME creates a cleaner, more oxygen-rich root zone — so your plants can focus on vigorous growth rather than fighting stress. Available in a 1 gal format to suit operations of every scale.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Enzyme Formula: Pure enzymatic action — no harsh chemicals — breaks down organic debris at the molecular level without harming beneficial microorganisms or disrupting the root zone biome.
• Multi-Media Compatible: Effective in soil, coco coir, rockwool, hydroton, deep water culture, NFT, ebb & flow, and all other soilless and hydroponic systems.
• Targets the Full Spectrum of Build-Up: Dissolves plant exudates, biofilm, sludge, slime, and algae that accumulate in reservoir walls, tubing, and root zones over time.
• Root Zone Optimization: A cleaner root zone means better oxygen uptake, improved nutrient absorption, and stronger, more vigorous root development cycle after cycle.
• Reservoir & Line Maintenance: Ideal for use as an ongoing maintenance additive in recirculating systems, and as an end-of-cycle system flush to prepare equipment for the next crop.
• 1 gal Size: Right-sized for your operation — from boutique hobby systems to large-scale commercial growing facilities.

Who Should Use This

SUPERthrive ZYME is the go-to enzyme cleaner for hydroponic cultivators, indoor growers, and greenhouse operators who demand consistently clean systems. It is especially valuable for recirculating setups where biofilm and sludge accumulate rapidly, and for growers transitioning between crop cycles who need a thorough, chemical-free system reset.

Compatibility

ZYME is compatible with all common growing media — including soil, soilless mixes, rockwool, coco coir, perlite, and hydroton — as well as all hydroponic delivery systems. It can be used alongside most nutrient and supplement programs, though a jar test is always recommended before mixing with concentrated solutions. Available in 32 oz and 1-gallon sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use SUPERthrive ZYME?

ZYME can be used throughout the entire growing cycle as a regular maintenance addition to your reservoir or irrigation water. It is particularly beneficial at transplant, after stress events, and during system clean-outs between cycles.

Is ZYME safe for beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae?

Yes. The enzymatic action in ZYME specifically targets non-living organic waste materials like sludge, slime, and biofilm rather than live microbial populations. It is safe to use in programs that include beneficial bacteria, trichoderma, or mycorrhizal inoculants.

Can I use ZYME to clean my reservoir and tubing between cycles?

Absolutely. ZYME is an excellent choice for end-of-cycle system flushes and clean-outs. Run a ZYME solution through your reservoir, lines, and emitters to break down organic residue before the next crop.

Which size should I choose — 32 oz or 1 gallon?

The 32 oz size is well suited to hobby growers, small-scale systems, or growers who want to trial ZYME before committing to a larger volume. The 1-gallon size offers the best value for commercial operations and high-volume growing facilities.

Is ZYME compatible with RO water and soft water systems?

Yes. ZYME performs effectively across a wide range of water quality types, including reverse osmosis water, soft water, and moderately hard municipal water.
